Identifier format inaccurate (Business number (Canada))	This rule checks the syntax, i.e. format of the Business number in Canada with respect to the reference format. Any deviation (i.e. white spaces where they are not specified) result in a violation. The Canadian business number consists of exactly 9 numerical digits. This rule checks possible whitespaces, hyphens or dots that might be comprised in the identifier value. If there are any whitespaces, hyphens or dots then the rule is violated.	IDEA	INFO

Inconsistency between Business Number and GST number (Canada)	The Canadian business number consists of 9 digits. The GST number in Canada is composed as follows: XXXXXXXXX RT YYYY whereby X: is exactly the 9 digit business number RT indicates that we are dealing with a GST number Y: a four digit number (e.g. 0001, 0002). There could be more than exactly 1 GST number, e.g. when an entity has two separate businesses. Then the first business has the GST number with suffix 0001, and the second 0002, etc. This rule checks whether there is a GST number and a business number, and whether the first 9 digits of the GST number are identical to the 9 digits of the business number. If this is not the case then either the GST or the business number are considered invalid.	RELEASED	ERROR
Invalid checksum of BN CA (Canada)	The Canadian Business number consists of exactly 9 digits. It is important to be correct as it is used as part of the GST/HST number as well.

The result of e. must equal the 9th digit.	RELEASED	ERROR
